Detect MongoDB in any GitHub repo

MongoDB is a document database storing JSON-like documents, widely used with Node.js through the official driver or Mongoose.

Why show MongoDB on your README

Detected from the driver or Mongoose dependency, MongoDB on the card tells contributors to expect a document model rather than SQL.

How MongoDB is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags MongoDB when it finds any of these:

  • Files or folders: mongod.conf, .mongorc.js
  • Dependencies in package.json: mongoose
  • Dependencies in Python (requirements.txt / pyproject.toml): pymongo, motor

MongoDB README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

MongoDB badge

Markdown
![MongoDB](https://img.shields.io/badge/MongoDB-47A248?style=for-the-badge&logo=mongodb&logoColor=white)

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so MongoDB (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:
